The article says "While TCS has set up centres in Brazil, Uruguay, Hungary, Luxembourg, China, Singapore, Australia and Japan, Infosys BPO has 1,000 employees at its near-shore facilities in the Czech Republic and China. HCL Technologies has some 2,000 staff in UK and Malaysia. Pune-based Zensar is bullish on China and Poland. ...Near-shoring is increasingly giving Indian ITeS companies an opening into newer markets, with customers accepting outsourcing to third party vendors."

Though primarily focused on Indian operators going global, the article makes an interesting point of how Near-shoring is taking off. This is a topic Uladzimir Radkevitch, [from RSM Erasmus University] also eloborated on at the recent Smart Sourcing conference in Los Angeles that I attended. [Blog on my observations from the Conference]

What the future holds is anyone's guess. However, given the increasing popularity of Near-shoring, established offshoring players -- at least in the BPO space -- are taking note.
